From: The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index predicts sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis

Figure 3

The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for age, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in the prediction of sarcopenia. (A,B) The cutoff value for age was 73.5 years, with an area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity of 0.72, 0.679, and 0.760, respectively. The cutoff value for GNRI was 102.1, with AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.75, 0.768, and 0.630, respectively. (C) The cutoff value for BCAA was 372 µmol/L, with AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.75, 0.714, and 0.740, respectively. (C) The prevalence of sarcopenia stratified by risk factors (age ≥ 73.5 years, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index ≤ 102.1, and branched-chain amino acid ≤ 372 µmol/L). The prevalence of sarcopenia in each group was 52.1% (38/73), 43.9% (43/98), and 51.3% (40/78), respectively.
